I also noticed that with -n the font on Kindle is much smoother which I'd prefer, but right now it's impossible to read the documents because of the slowness.

Regardless of the shortcomings k2pdfopt is a huge improvement over PDF to mobi conversion or reading PDFs as is on Kindle. Cheers.
Try using the -mode fw option instead of just -n. See my native PDF help page.
